Chu Ninger was green with jealousy when she saw Chu Wuyou, particularly so when she noticed the way men reacted to her elder sister. Chu Ninger desperately wanted to kill someone.
She never expected Chu Wuyou to change into another gown. Not only did Chu Wuyou spoil her plan, but she also managed to grab the attention of everyone.
Now, most of the men in the hall had their eyes on Chu Wuyou.
Chu Ninger could never tolerate this. She was the only one who should be the center of attention.
How could that good-for-nothing, brainless hag steal her limelight?
Chu Ninger picked a convenient moment and headed for the landing between the second and third floors with a waitress.
âHave you prepared the thing I mentioned earlier?â Chu Ningerâs voice was no longer soothing. Instead, it was chilling and wicked.
âYes, itâs ready.â The waitress was evidently frightened.
âMm, Chu Wuyou doesnât drink. Elder Chu prepared Coke for her. Put that thing into her Coke.â Chu Ninger had planned everything.
âWhat if she doesnât drink it?â The waitress asked with a shaky voice.
âIf she doesnât drink it, find an opportunity to get her out here. Iâll force the drink down her throat if I have to.â Chu Ningerâs hiss echoed around the staircase, making her seem more terrifying.
On the third floor, Fifth Young Master Shen and Ye Lanchen overheard the womenâs conversation.
âSecond Young Lady Chu seems to be an adorable and gentle woman, but she turns out to be an evil person. Based on this fact, what happened five years ago must have been planned by her, too,â Fifth Young Master Shen quipped coldly.
âThird Elder Brother, should we help First Young Lady Chu?â Fifth Young Master Shen regarded Ye Lanchen, trying to read the latterâs thoughts.
âNo need for now.â Ye Lanchen shifted his brows. He wanted to see how that woman would handle the situation.
The phrase âfor nowâ sounded intriguing.
âUnderstood.â Fifth Young Master Shen understood Ye Lanchenâs reply at once. His eyes gleamed with excitement. A thrilling show was about to begin.
One had to be insane to bully a woman whom Third Elder Brother cared about.
After Chu Ninger and the waitress left, He Yufei walked out slowly and looked at the direction where the two women were headed for. He looked at them in consternation.
âFirst Young Lady, hereâs your Coke. Elder Chu knows that you donât drink alcohol, so he ordered this for you.â The waitress handed the spiked Coke to Chu Wuyou. Feeling guilty, the waitress did not dare to make eye contact with Chu Wuyou.
âOk, thank you.â Chu Wuyou smiled and accepted the drink.
The waitress let out a quiet sigh of relief and shifted her gaze instinctively to look at Chu Ninger.
Chu Ninger, who had been observing Chu Wuyou secretly, saw everything. A hint of a smile darted across her lips. The show was about to begin.
He Yufei noticed everything as well. He pursed his lips and glanced at Chu Ninger with a troubled expression. However, he did not say a word.
âSeriously?! First Young Lady fell into the trap.â Fifth Young Master Shen, who was watching the scene from above, became anxious. âShe may have recovered from her illness, but she has let her guard down.â
Ye Lanchenâs lips curved upwards slowly. With her astounding level of observation, he refused to believe she would get tricked so easily.
In the hall, Chu Wuyou held the glass of Coke and gradually lifted it to her mouth...
